Radio story: Wheelchair Rugby

I spent time on the sidelines of one of San Francisco’s pick-up wheelchair rugby games and learned about what it takes to play the game. All of the participating athletes are quadriplegics, which means that they have some type of impairment in their upper body–some have use of their arms, while others don’t. I also learned that just like traditional rugby, these players like crashing into each other. For North Gate Radio’s “The Outsiders” show, I produced this radio story that aired on KALX radio October 22, 2009.
